Dirty Dog

Max has gone mad.
Aren't you glad he's in your good graces?
Outer space makes his world feel so small.
He stretches his arm, but the charm is out of his reach, now.
Funny how he only wants what he can't get.
You dirty dog,
your life's a foggy place.
Let's have a bath, and then perhaps a snack and Sunday nap.
Don't be uptight, not tonight.
These people are friends.
Ya, go lay down.
As if to frown, you tilt your head.
Let's go outside.
You can guide our path through the fog.
Boy, don't believe I've ever been this way before.
Max sees the light.
Out of sight, this is the end.
Now, shut your eyes and fantasize about the day.

We Could Be Extras

We could be extras out in Hollywood.
We could be extras. You never looked so good.
We could be extras, mingle 'round the stars.
We could be extras. Thousands of tiny parts.
Don't worry 'bout knowing lines.
Blend in with the crowd all the time.
Pretend you're alive as you mime.
Here comes our big scene.
We're the guys in the green berets.
We could be extras, soldiers on a field.
We could be extras, a blurry couple sharing a meal.
We could be extras, rabbis on a train.
We could be extras, classy waiters serving champagne.
Your makeup and hair looking fine.
Just try not to stand in their light.
It might help to cure your stage fright.
See our names on the screen, smallest print ever seen.
That's okay.
Weren't you that guy inn that hospital show?
The dead corpse on the slab, hung yourself with a rope.
How could you stay so still? I watched to see if you'd breath.
You looked so lifeless, man. Who could believe we could be extras?

Dear

Dear,
I get high when you are near.
Now my eyes are crystal clear.
It's so easy to love you.
Babe,
Hold me close and don't let go,
and our energy will grow.
It's so easy to love you.
Love,
it has brought me to this place.
Bearing witness to your grace.
It's so easy...
How can it be that I've lived my whole life without knowing how good it could be?
Now, our eyes can see the potential for beautiful things is as sweet as the fruit that it brings.
Now,
as the fruit begins to grow,
I just have to let you know
it's really easy to love you.
Getting closer to the ocean.
I can feel it wash over me.
Dear,
There's a fire in my heart.
It burns brighter than the stars.
It's so easy to love you.
It's so easy to love you.
It's so easy to love you.
It's so easy to love you.
It's so easy to love you.

Riding My Bike

What are you doing?
I'm riding my bike.
Where are you going?
I go where I like.
Who's going to be there?
All of my friends.
And what for tomorrow?
I'll do it again.
I'm riding my bike.
I'm riding my bike.
And no one is keeping me down.
Come up to a hill?
I'll change my gear.
Twists and turns?
I know how to steer.
A car doesn't stop?
I'll hit the brakes.
How long will you go?
As long as it takes.
I'm riding my bike.
I'm riding my bike.
And no one is slowing me down.
Now, I'm not trying to get in shape.
No I'm not worried 'bout being green.
I'm the laziest mother you've ever seen.
I just want to go places I've never been.
I'm riding my bike.
I'm riding my bike.
I'm riding my bike.
I'm riding my bike.
Won't you ride with me?
You can fly with me.
Just keep up with me.
I'm riding my bike.
I'm riding my bike.
I'm riding my bike.
I'm riding my bike.

Wake Up Late
04:06
|

Don't want to wake up late in the summertime.
So many steps to take. So many forms to sign.
Don't want to wake up late. Don't want to miss your chance.
No matter what you do, you've gotta snap yourself out of the trance.
Don't want to come up short. You must stay in the know.
Don't let your last resort become your only hope.
You mustn't come up short. Can't let your people down.
You've got a train to catch, and it's the last one out of town.
Life's not quite what you thought it would be,
but you do what you can to keep you feeling worthy
of the praise from the days in your memory.
Don't wanna fall behind. You gotta get the worm.
No one can do it but you. Some people never learn.
